From time to time, I receive information on a unique running project or experience and want to make sure I share. The Mezamashii Run Project is an effort by Mizuno to help create a more euphoric or unique running experience — a more "brilliant" run — for more runners everywhere. My such experience was running my first marathon--Check out my story:

The word
"mezamashii" means "eye-opening" or "brilliant" in Japanese — it’s a word that
captures the euphoric feeling of a brilliant run. Check out the project and your might be interested. My wife swears by Mizuno's! Just go to Mezamashii Run Project and click on "Apply for an Invite."

The Mezamashii community will continue to receive brilliant run inspiration from Mizuno in the form of early access to product launches and other exclusive Mizuno events. Over the course of the remainder of the year, Mizuno will give away thousands of shoes to runners who are looking to experience more euphoric, brilliant, mezamashii running.
